Hey everyone, I'm putting together a first system with a load of stuff I had lying around, and I will be using a pyramid 7" widescreen I happen to have. My question is which vid cards have the best tv-out quality? I have an mx440 and an FX5200, so I know what they're like. I have never used an ATI card with tv-out.Thanks.
According to an article on Tom's Hardware, the ATI's were supposed to have superior S-Video outputs than any other card. I think they even recommended the 9000 Pro as the best.
As most monitors are Composite, you will have to down convert that anyway using the suppiled adaptor.
I have one and really couldnt tell if it was any better than any other card I have with composite/Svideo output on a small screen such as a 5.8" TFT.
But read the article.

thanks, I tried an old Rage Pro out, but it won't overscan to fill the screen so I think I'll steal my g/f's MX440. Works like a charm with it.
Hmmmm I have the 9000 pro, no s-video on there. I also have the non-pro which DOES have s-video, but I didn't get any adapter with it, just the DVI-->VGA adapter. But the 9000Pro's composite out is very good I run it to watch DVD's on my big screen!Originally Posted by craigyb
